Hi, Is there a mention of "Maha Sadhashiva" anywhere in the Vedas? (Disc: I'm writing an answer for this other post, it is complete, but I don't have a reference to a vedas, hence I've not posted it). Thanks a lot for your help. — Bhargav Rao4 mins ago
@SwiftPushkar I want some references where "Maha Sadashiva" is mentioned. I know that Sadashiva is mentioned in the kamika aghama, but I've not read much about it.
@BhargavRao - 🍫 (This is dark one) but if your like the normal one , will give u frm. next time 😀 Yes , will search about Maha-Sada Shiva in Agams i have and in shiva purana also simultaneously. 👍👍
@BhargavRao Yes Post it ,i will update it even in your absence , no problem even @TheDestroyer & @Tezz will upadte the answer as they know more abt.this .😀👍👍
He is known as:
Maha Sadashiva
Maha sadashiva is an extended form of Sadashiva. From Sanskrit, Maha means greater. Hence Maha sadhashiva is a greater form of Sadashiva. The significance is similar to Sadashiva, from Wikipedia:
Sadasiva (Sanskrit: चताशिव, Catāśiva, Tamil: சதாசிவம் ), is th...
@BhargavRao Yes , Images is quite sharp and very comprehensive ans. Bravo 💐 Will add ref. from scriptures also. Just finishing another answer ,will look at scriptures in some time.🌷
Here are all the figures that Vyasa names in the Brahma Sutras other than himself (using the Sutra numbering here)
Jaimini: He's mentioned 17 times, starting in Adhyaya 1 Pada 2 Sutra 28:
According to Jaimini, there is no contradiction even in case of direct meditation.
Asmarathya: He's me...
HH Chinna Jeeyar swami said that it is present in Agama scriptures. Jeeyar knows better than any indologists and there is also a temple constructed according to it. So, there is a reference to 25 headed Shiva but dunno where specific verse. @BhargavRao
As I discuss in this question, the Sri Vaishnava sect (of which I am a member) places great importance on the Divya Desams, the 108 sacred places of Vishnu which are mentioned in the poems of the Alwars. Now two of the Divya Desams are not even on Earth! As I discuss here, there is Thiruparkada...
@SK There are no statutes of limitations. Again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But in this case, I actually do have an answer. Someone contacted Chinna Jeeyar Swami on my behalf, and he specified exactly which Pancharatra Agamas describe this. I just haven't posted it yet, because I haven't found them in English translation. — Keshav Srinivasan ♦Dec 5 '17 at 1:16
@BhargavRao It was @NogShine that contacted Chinna Jeeyar Swami on my behalf. Here is Chinna Jeeyar Swami's reply:
"Jai srimannarayna Your question is genuine. Let them look into the Padma Samhitha, then Sriprasna samhitha etc., If they read the ‘yoga pitta parikalpanam’ they can find these details. =chinnajeeyar="
@BhargavRao I haven't found English translations of any of these three texts yet.
@KeshavSrinivasan Thanks! Let me know when you find a reference. The book which I have cited, has clearly mentioned that the 25 headed form is mentioned in Skanda Purana.
I have looked both online and in a library for a source that contained information about this question, but could not find it.

Panini who wrote astadhyayi on Sanskrit grammar was present during the time of mahabharata, some sites claim that he was also a character in Mahabharata, which passages in the epic mention Panini?
I came to know from Autobiography of a Yogi, by Swami Yogananda that Babaji is an immortal. My questions are:
What is the birthdate of Mahavatar Babaji?
What is the last account of babaji? I mean when he was last seen?
Do babaji still give visit to some?
The poets pray for cattle and so forth and pray to rudra not to harm them but there doesn't seem to be boons and curses recorded in rig veda. One would think boons and curses would be mostly puranic. So, do we find boons/curses anywhere in Rig Veda?
I am looking for commentaries or correct translations for Ramcharitmanas 6.61, 1.195, 1.190 as I got series of questions as below:

@NogShine You need to edit it individually, even mods can't rename tags easily. (CMs can, or perhaps they're quite experienced so they know how to do it easily)
So, I recently earned a couple of badges - one Proofreader and one tag badge:
One small problem: clicking the tag badge shows the pop-up for the proofreader badge:
Clearly, this is a calculated effort to convince me to edit more and decline less, which is admirable. But all it has accompli...

Is it possible that one can st...
